>> erin, i am happy to explain that. i think everybody who was there remembers exactly how it happened which was there was a long negotiation that included the president, speaker boehner. we agreed to amount of cuts on discretionary spending, domestic and defense, and as you remember, what kept us from coming to the big agreement was we couldn't quite reach an agreement on the amount of entitlements, things like medicare savings, and the amount of revenue. there was significant amount of revenue, at least 800 billion on the table from the republicans but we didn't come to a deal, so as we were working out how to avoid a going into default, there was an agreement that we needed an enforcement mechanism that would be so painful for both sides that would make both sides come back to the table and each give a little, and i think the idea was bring us back to try to do the type of grand bargain where we would get the revenues from tax reform we would need together with additional entitlement savings, so i am not saying we hav
